Beyond Bioshock: Um, what else after that in 2013?

So yeah, definitely, am getting a Bioshock Infinite in March, and really can't wait to take down Columbia with a some murder of crows and a shotgun. Before that, I got myself a Strike Suit Zero, and Crysis 3 & DMC reboot will have to wait until there's a bargain buy.

But big question: What's next after that? What other anticipated big hits for the PC any gamer should expect in 2013?

I'm looking at the list of 2013 PC games, and here's my personal opinion for each:

Splinter Cell: Blacklist - meh

Defiance - not big on MMOs beyond Guild Wars, and will see whether this MMO/TV hybrid will work out. Even if it's written by a Farscape creator, I'm still skeptical.

Alien: Colonel Marines - Not interested, not my type of FPS.

Rise of the Triad - Hell, yes. I'm so looking forward to take down NotZis, I mean, the Triad and relive the 90's with this game.

Dead Space 3 - After all the BS EA has put us through? I'll just play DS2 & wait until there's bargain for 3

Tomb Raider reboot - NO. Stick with Legend. Moving on...

Lost Planet 3 - Eh, wait for bargain....

Dead Island: Riptide - Enough with the zombies. Can we just have an Orc invasion of modern Earth, instead?

I wouldn't be surprised if The Witcher 3 comes out in November. CDPR is set to tease their next game in 4 days, one that they said is "Very close to being finished" or something similar. If so, that instantly becomes my most anticipated game of the year.

"What were we talking about? Pegasuses, pegasii, that's horses with wings. This motherf*cker got a sword that talks to him. Motherf*cker live in places that don't exist, it comes with a map. My God."

Made a list a while back of all the stuff I'm interested in that's supposed to (or just possibly) coming out this year. A few I'm almost definitely going to buy, and a few I'm pretty skeptical of, others I just want to keep an eye on. This is what I've got on here so far. Pretty sure I've forgotten something though.

I thought that CDPR's next game was Cyberpunk? Or was that just a teaser for some far-off title?

Also, I don't think that there's a release date even speculated on for DayZ. Pretty sure that the developer is just taking his time at this point. We'll probably see it this year (at least, I assume), since it's far enough into development that a 2012 release date was a possibility at one point, but it may not be until later.

Age of Decadence will probably make this year, but I wouldn't bet the house on it. Still, it does look as if there's a lot done already - I think it will depend on how much last-minute polishing they want to do, and possibly on funding. I haven't really been following it, so if someone who has wants to comment, great.

There's also Occult Chronicles from Cryptic Comet, the guy who did Solium Infernum. It's almost certainly going to be interesting, whatever else it turns out to be.

Edit: Also Gone Home, that one RPS wrote about where you explore an empty house and try to figure out where everyone's gone, but that may be too "Dear Esther" for some.
